General setup advice for an 8 camera Flex13 system
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:28 pm
Hi, first post here.
Just got my Optitrack system (8 cam flex13 - both Motive:Body and VCS ) and I'm wondering if someone can provide me with a basic setup diagram for me to start with and refine.
The room is 10.5' high, 15' front-to-back and 17' wide. I have a lighting grid hung at the 10.5' mark, the ceiling does go about 6 inches higher up still.
I was wondering if I can hang all 8 cameras from the ceiling, or should some be lower? What should the basic heights of the cameras be to cover roughly a 7'x14'x16' capture space (could be less.. 6.5'x13'x15') for both Motive:Body and the VCS system?
I was thinking to hang 6 cameras from the ceiling at around 6'-7' up and then 2 cameras on stands at around chest or waist level on opposite ends of the room's width.
Also another question is with USB repeater cables.. I read that you can place up to 2 between the hub and the computer. Can any be placed between the hub and the camera? Just wondering.
